Jenner & Block and WilmerHale are seeking summary judgments against what one of them called “a plain violation of the First Amendment.”

It’s the sixth presidential action against a large law firm, with the president signing executive orders against Perkins Coie; Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison; Jenner & Block; and Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr. He also signed a presidential memo against Covington & Burling, suspending a partner’s security clearances.

The president’s campaign against the legal profession reached a new level this week, though it’s not altogether clear why his latest target made the list.

Four or five firms could soon agree to deals that would be unveiled as a package, in an escalation of the president’s crackdown on an industry that has drawn his ire.

The settlements have allowed [the president] to ‘build an unrivaled network of Lawyers’ to advance not the interests of their own clients, but instead the government’s chosen agenda,” Jenner said, citing Trump.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order targeting the law firm Susman Godfrey that would prevent lawyers at the firm from accessing government resources and buildings, among other things.

His directive to the Justice Department to investigate Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs, whose only crimes were telling the truth, is a frontal assault on the rule of law.
